[Kernel-packages] [Bug 665918] Re: Media keys not working in Toshiba Satellite U500
I erroneously left a line for the mute button in the original 61-satellite-u500.hwdb file and should be removed. The following is the correct 61-satellite-u500.hwdb file: # Satellite U500 keyboard:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svnTOSHIBA:pn[sS][aA][tT][eE][lL][lL][iI][tT][eE]*[uU]500*:pvr* KEYBOARD_KEY_ae=!volumedown KEYBOARD_KEY_b0=!volumeup Furthermore the previous and next media buttons are mapped to hex 0x10 (165) and 0x19 (163). These are the same codes that are used for Q and P respectively so I'm unable to remap them without disabling those keys. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/665918 Title: Media keys not working in Toshiba Satellite U500 Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: Binary package hint: udev The special media keys in the Toshiba Satellite U500 do not work.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 665918] Re: Media keys not working in Toshiba Satellite U500
I know this bug has expired but I would like to provide updated information for anyone still using the Toshiba Satellite U500. With Ubuntu 13.10 the product name is reported as "Satellite U500" instead of "SATELLITE U500". This breaks the previous fix for the volume keys in Ubuntu bug #271706. To fix this issue add the following to /etc/udev/hwdb.d/61-satellite-u500.hwdb # Satellite U500 keyboard:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svnTOSHIBA:pn[sS][aA][tT][eE][lL][lL][iI][tT][eE]*[uU]500*:pvr* KEYBOARD_KEY_a0=!mute KEYBOARD_KEY_ae=!volumedown KEYBOARD_KEY_b0=!volumeup The above hwdb rule should match both "Satellite U500" and "SATELLITE U500". Now update the hardware database information. sudo udevadm hwdb --update The other media keys are still not working as reported in this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/665918 Title: Media keys not working in Toshiba Satellite U500 Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: Binary package hint: udev The special media keys in the Toshiba Satellite U500 do not work.
